The island of Longboat Key lies between the Gulf and Sarasota Bay and is claimed by both Manatee and Sarasota counties. Twelve miles of white sand beaches have helped to make this a luxury resort community.

A large number of its nearly 6,000 residents are retirees, who enjoy the island's championship golf course and tennis club, and its fine dining and shopping.

Longboat Key is an elegant and scenic environment offering a rare combination of breathtaking beaches and cultural activities with a relaxed and elegant lifestyle.
